Tiger Woods spent the morning in jail after being arrested on DUI charges in Jupiter, Florida.

WPTV reported that Tiger Woods was taken into custody for driving under the influence around 3:00 a.m. ET this morning and was released at 10:50 on his own recognizance. This is just five days after he posted a health update on his website saying, "I haven’t felt this good in years." While this DUI doesn't affect his return to golf, it is disappointing to his fans, especially the young ones that still look up to him as a role model. May 29 - 11:56 AM

Tiger Woods announced that he underwent successful back surgery and will rest before undergoing the rehab process.

Woods shared the news on Tigerwoods.com, saying "The surgery went well, and I'm optimistic this will relieve my back spasms and pain." He would later that add that typical patients return to full activity in about six months. Woods has proved to be anything but typical, though, when it comes to back pain. Optimistic gamers may want to tick off the Safeway Open or Hero World Challenge as potential return spots. Realistically, there is a good chance his return is much, much later than that.

Tiger Woods declared himself unfit to play at next week's Masters Tournament and still has no timetable for return as he continues to rehab his back injuries.

Woods posted the news on TigerWoods.com, "Unfortunately, I won't be competing in this year's Masters. I did about everything I could to play, but my back rehabilitation didn't allow me the time to get tournament ready." This is deja vu for gamers who found out this same news last year while viewing the second round of the Shell Houston Open. While this is not shocking news for anyone that has been following his progress over the last few years, it is still a disappointment. Mar 31 - 7:42 PM

In a change of plans, Tiger Woods has announced he will no longer be in the field at next week's Genesis Open or the Honda Classic the week after, citing ongoing back spasms that forced him to withdraw from the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

In his official statement on TigerWoods.com, he said, "My doctors have advised me not to play the next two weeks, to continue my treatment and to let my back calm down." The initial comeback schedule is proving to be a bit aggressive as he originally planned to play four times in a five-week period. The goal is still to round into form ahead of the Masters, but that is getting harder and harder to do without competitive rounds. UPDATE: Woods provided an update on his website, saying "Unfortunately, due to ongoing rest and rehabilitation on my back, I won't be able to play in this year's Arnold Palmer Invitational. I'm especially disappointed because I wanted to be at Bay Hill to help honor Arnold. This is one event I didn't want to skip." His timetable for return remains a mystery. Feb 10 - 10:17 AM
